Vermont's farmers have experienced so much crop loss because of flooding.
As we remember the July 2023 and 2024 floods, @sanders.senate.gov, @balint.house.gov, and I are reintroducing my bill that'll make it easier for farmers to protect their farmland from flooding. https://bit.ly/4ykvxRx

President Trump said that he was going to lower prices on Day One.
But this is one of the few times Congress has worked together to get something done to bring down prices on something as important as housing, and he’s fought it every step of the way.
More people continue to die at the hands of this ICE agency on a rampage.
We need independent investigations and real accountability.
Instead, Republicans rammed through tens of billions of dollars in more money for immigration enforcement without any reforms.
Like many Vermonters, I’m remembering the brutal floods that devastated our state in July 2023 and 2024.
I joined Climate Action Campaign to hear from Vermonters impacted by extreme weather. Our path is clear: we must take urgent climate action and reform our recovery process.
President Trump has changed his mind once again, saying the ceasefire with Iran is "over" and launching more strikes last night.
The price of oil has already jumped in response.
How many lives will be lost, and much will he cost your family before he ends this illegal war?
More corruption.
Lockheed Martin will pay $5 million to build President Trump a new helipad at the White House.
They make billions of dollars from government contracts every year.
250 years ago, thirteen colonies rejected British rule and began building a nation based on democratic principles.
We must keep protecting freedom, liberty, and our democracy.
Happy Independence Day!
It’s been a year since Republicans passed President Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill.” In that time:
—Inflation hit a three-year high.
—Five million Americans have already lost their health care.
—Four million people have lost their food assistance, including more than 800,000 children.
I’ve spoken with airline leaders, and they’ve made it clear that even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, it’s going to take months to get back to pre-war levels.
Because of President Trump, it’s going to be more expensive to fly for a long time.
Consolidation and rising production costs are crushing small dairy farmers in Vermont and across the nation.
That's why I just introduced a new bill to help them keep more of the profit made from their hard work. https://bit.ly/4fdaPeQ
Big money in politics is a threat to our democracy.
The more the Supreme Court strikes down limits to big money, the more the rich and powerful will be able to buy influence over our elections.
This is a win for democracy.
Both Red and Blue states around the country have been allowing states to count ballots mailed by Election Day for decades.
Despite President Trump’s best efforts, your voice deserves to be heard.
President Trump’s Freedom 250 is a self-serving grift.
It's terrible to see the news of the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone trying to recover from this disaster.
The U.S. should send whatever aid it can to help save lives.
250 years ago, our Founders declared independence from the British in a brave rebuke of a corrupt king who sold access to those with money and status.
I can't help but notice how closely President Trump's actions mirror the concerns that shaped our founding.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the fundamental right to abortion it protected for millions of Americans.
I refuse to accept this as normal. I’m going to keep fighting alongside Democrats to give women control over their own bodies.
President Trump was supposed to sign the most comprehensive bipartisan housing bill in 30 years.
Just hours before the ceremony, he cancelled it.

People can't afford their basic needs. One in seven Americans use buy now, pay later services to get groceries.
Job growth is sluggish. The war with Iran wiped out real wage growth.
Working families are suffering and President Trump is making things worse.
Because of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” five million Americans have already lost their health care.
Americans don’t want to pay for a new White House ballroom. They want affordable health care, groceries, and housing.
